Dental Bridges
Dental bridges do exactly what they sound like—they bridge a gap in the smile left behind by two or more teeth. These prosthetics are comprised of two main parts—the crowns that anchor it in place, and the free-standing replacement teeth, called pontics. The crowns are cemented to the two natural teeth on either side of the gap in your smile, holding the pontics securely within your mouth to provide you with a reliable, complete row of teeth.
Dentures
For those who are missing several teeth across an arch or an entire row of teeth, we also offer full and partial dentures in Chicago. Full dentures have a gum-colored, acrylic base that’s designed to stay in place atop the gumline using natural suction. Partial dentures are similar in appearance, but instead of sitting atop the gumline, these have a specially designed base that fits between the existing teeth like a puzzle piece to fill several spaces throughout the arch. Both are crafted using high-quality, natural looking materials that are built to withstand daily use.
Dental Implants
Dental implants have quickly risen to become the gold standard for tooth replacement because they offer a lifelike look and feel that’s beyond the capabilities of traditional prosthetics. Instead of having replacement teeth anchored to surrounding teeth or using natural suction to stay in the mouth, implant restorations are secured to dental implants that are surgically placed below the gumline and into the jawbone. A denture, dental bridge, or crown can then be secured to the implant post to restore the entire structure of any number of missing teeth.
